Ortler Alps

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ortler Alps (Italian Ortles) are a mountain range in the central Alps of Italy. They are considered to be part of the Central Eastern Alps or the Southern Limestone Alps.

The Ortler Alps are separated from the Livigno Range in the north-west by the Stelvio Pass and the Adda River valley (Valtellina); from the Adamello-Presanella range in the south by the Tonale Pass; from the Ötztal Alps in the north-east by the upper Adige valley (Vinschgau-Val Venosta). The part west of the Gavia Pass is also called Sobretta-Gavia Group.

The Ortler Alps are drained by the rivers Adda, Oglio, Adige and its tributary Noce.
